Summary

• CO 41 sts.
• seed stitch pattern
• I knit two black rows between each month.
• kept writing down the sky colors in a pocket calendar even though I wasn’t knitting every day. Caught up over a year later.
• Three-stitch i-cord, three-needle bind off to join ends into an infinity scarf
• Seven-stitch applied i-cord around the edges to cover up the ugly mass of yarns I carried up one side.

Journal

April 21, 2014: Once again, I didn’t make note of anything during the bulk of the knitting. Today, though, I joined the ends to create an infinity scarf. Since I didn’t think to make a provisional cast on at the beginning, I picked up the stitches at the beginning end so I could do a three-needle bind off with the live stitches on the finishing end. But wait, that’s not all. At the same time, I did an i-cord bind off. That’s right: an i-cord, three-needle bind off. And I didn’t die.

Had some false starts with the applied i-cord edging, though. After watching a few youtube videos on various ways to make applied i-cord, I settled on this method. I started with a crocheted provisional cast on so I can graft the i-cord together when I get back around to the beginning.

April 22, 2014: Yardage before including black: 1418.4

April 27, 2014: After knitting days of applied icord, I’m over it. I had intended to have icord on both edges, but I’m leaving the pretty side alone. Besides, if I knit a 7-st icord on that tidy edge, it wouldn’t be filled out like the other one; it’d just be floppy. So, we’re going to have a naked side and call it done.
